I would like to ask your opinions on these two, I believe they are reproductions. Thanks, Ralph

I believe you are correct.

[gregM]

I agree. The spange as well as the oak leaves are fake.

Total crap.And it is actually called the 'Wiederholungsspange zum EK2 1870'.

[gregM]

and there's a better than even chance that the cross is a 9th bead fake.
It seems that they all go hand in hand.

Hi Greg is this the 9th. bead fake, also any idea when these were made or the year of manufacture.

That is the "bad crown" fake.

[gregM]

That is the "bad crown" fake.

Michel is absolutely right. This is the "bad crown fake" It's named that because if you look at the crown, the sweat band
overhangs the the rest of the crown on the right side. Easy to spot when you know what to look for.

We started seeing these in the early 2000s. 2005 or 2006.
